Keeping Standards up-to-date

Standards are living documents which reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and
new editions are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves
they are using a current Standard, which should include any amendments which
may have been published since the Standard was purchased.
Detailed information about Standards can be found by visiting the Standards Web
Shop at www.standards.com.au and looking up the relevant Standard in the on-line
catalogue.
Alternatively, the printed Catalogue provides information current at 1 January each
year, and the monthly magazine, The Global Standard, has a full listing of revisions
and amendments published each month.
Australian StandardsTM and other products and services developed by Standards
Australia are published and distributed under contract by SAI Global, which
operates the Standards Web Shop.
We also welcome suggestions for improvement in our Standards, and especially
encourage readers to notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or
ambiguities. Contact us via email at mail@standards.org.au, or write to the Chief
Executive, Standards Australia International Ltd, GPO Box 5420, Sydney, NSW
2001.

This Standard was issued in draft form for comment as DR 04113.

INTRODUCTION

Introduction

The application integration framework (AIF) described in ISO 15745 defines elements and rules that facilitate:

 the systematic organization and representation of the application integration requirements using integration
models;

 the development of interface specifications in the form of application interoperability profiles (AIPs) that enable
both the selection of suitable resources and the documentation of the "as built" application.

ISO 15745-1 defines the generic elements and rules for describing integration models and AIPs, together with their
This is a free 9 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.

component profiles - process profiles, information exchange profiles, and resource profiles. The context of ISO
15745 and a structural overview of the constituents of an AIP are given in Figure 1 of ISO 15745-1:2003.

This part of ISO 15745 extends the generic AIF described in ISO 15745-1 by defining the technology specific
elements and rules for describing both communication network profiles and the communication related aspects of
device profiles specific to Ethernet1-based control systems (ADS-net2, FL-net3 and EtherNet/IP™4). EtherNet/IP™
technology uses a profile of IEC 61158 which is specified in IEC 61784-1.

In particular, this part of ISO 15745 describes technology specific profile templates for the device profile and the
communication network profile. Within an AIP, a device profile instance or a communication network profile
instance is part of the resource profile defined in ISO 15745-1. The device profile and the communication network
profile XML instance files are included in a resource profile XML instance using the ProfileHandle_DataType as
specified in ISO 15745-1:2003, 7.2.5.

AIFs specified using the elements and rules of ISO 15745-1 can be easily integrated with the component profiles
defined using the elements and rules specified in this part.

1 Ethernet is used in this document as a synonym for ISO/IEC 8802-3.

2 ADS-net is a trade name used to describe JIS-TR B0012 (Autonomous Decentralized System network). This information is
given for the convenience of users of ISO 15745 and does not constitute an endorsement by ISO of the trademark, or any
related products. Compliance to this standard does not require use of the trade name ADS-net.
3 FL-net is a trade name used to describe JEM 1479. This information is given for the convenience of users of ISO 15745 and
does not constitute an endorsement by ISO of the trademark, or any related products. Compliance to this standard does not
require use of the trade name FL-net.
4 EtherNet/IP™ is a trade name of ControlNet International, Ltd. and Open DeviceNet Vendor Association, Inc. This information
is given for the convenience of users of ISO 15745 and does not constitute an endorsement by ISO of the trademark holder or
any of its products. Compliance to this standard does not require use of the trade name EtherNet/IP™. Use of the trade name
EtherNet/IP™ requires permission of either ControlNet International, Ltd. or Open DeviceNet Vendor Association, Inc.
